[11:27] They arrived once again in Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders came to him
[11:28] and asked him, “What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you such right?”
[11:29] Jesus answered them, “I will ask you just one question, and if you give me an answer, I will tell you what right I have to do these things.
[11:30] Tell me, where did John's right to baptize come from: was it from God or from human beings?”
[11:31] They started to argue among themselves: “What shall we say? If we answer, ‘From God,’ he will say, ‘Why, then, did you not believe John?’
[11:32] But if we say, ‘From human beings …’” (They were afraid of the people, because everyone was convinced that John had been a prophet.)
[11:33] So their answer to Jesus was, “We don't know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you, then, by what right I do these things.”
